Biography

Boles was born on July 25, 1887 in Williamstown, Kentucky. He was the Kentucky Wildcats football coach in 1917, compiling a 3–5–1 record. He also served as Kentucky's basketball coach in 1917–18, tallying a mark of 9–2–1 record. The rare basketball tie, against Kentucky Wesleyan, was because of a scorer's error that was not discovered until after the game had ended and both teams had departed.

Boles was found dead at his home, in Lexington, Kentucky, on December 4, 1961.[1] His brother, Ewing T. Boles, was a noted businessman and philanthropist.
